The MSc in Precision Scientific Instrumentation (MSPSI) Programme is an intensive one-year full-time or two-year part-time programme by coursework taught in 3 trimesters per academic year. The curriculum comprises four specialisations: Nanotechnology, Chip Technology, Optoelectronics and Quantum Technology.​​ The courses are delivered in intensive periods of 12 weeks. All courses are conducted at the NTU main campus evenings (6:30 PM-10 PM) on weekdays or Saturdays (9:30 AM-1 PM, 2 PM-5:30 PM or Full day).

The programme consists of a total of 32 Academic Units (AU), with 8 AU of compulsory courses, 9 AU from the chosen specialisation (Prescribed Electives), and 15 AU from other Electives courses:

*Prescribed Elective courses of one specialisation could be Unrestricted Elective courses of another specialisation.

Note:

Successful completion of all coursework requirements, with a minimum CGPA of 2.50, is required for completion of the programme.
